I just edited on my pc with word, everything works fine now. I got Mocern Combat 3 to work. I installed the v1.0.1 apk floating around that specifically helps with the license issue. It plays smoother than it did on my xoom. However, it seems the textures it download may only be 16bit. Not as vibrant looking as the xoom version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
hey how did you get around the license issue for MC3?

EDIT: oh there's a v1.0.1 apk somewhere... hm... i'm gonna try and find it.

EDIT2: wow it actually worked, awesome!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jeremystyle:
MC 3

I still am not having any luck with this one. Like others, I get to where it says my download didn't finish then it checks and says I'm not compatible. Anyone have any luck without modifying the build prop?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
i modified my build.prop to look like zaptoons' build.prop.

edited on my computer then uploaded to dropbox and downloaded onto my NT through dropbox. after that you just copy it over to system folder, make sure to mount as r/w and overwrite it. make sure u set the permissions correctly (chmod 644 which is read and write for owner, and read for the other two. after that remount the system as r/o and reboot. you should be able to run it then.

also make sure u get the 1.0.1 apk as that one fixes the license issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
MC3 is 99 cents on the Market right now. Downloads and runs perfectly. Just get the legit deal rather than futz with some pirated version.

Best graphics I've seen yet on the Nook Tablet. Great gameplay too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Lacokako:
hmmm, it's still the same market while I'm using the build.prop edit, I don't know what's wrong...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
This might be obviously did you reboot your nook??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mattman1983:
build.prop edit bricked NT?

So I made only the changes shown at the geeknizer.com link to change build.prop to "look" like a Nexus S, turned my NT off and on again, and now it's stuck at the black screen after the "Read Forever" screen. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
Probably set the permissions of your build.prop wrong. It's ether that or use messed up your build.prop when modifying it
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mattman1983:
I thought that might be the mistake I made (I forgot to change the permissions). Now I'm just hoping I have the luck of some others whose NTs started up again after a complete discharge & recharge. I'd hate to have to do a factory restore and lose my setup. :-\
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
well if your NT is in a boot loop, u will have to factory restore your NT, its the only way I think... 8 failed boots, a pain I know but it must be done when neccessary:(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Lacokako:
I did reboot, changed /system to R/W, checked with an Info app and it says the info I changed, yet the market is the same... ;p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Okay I was gonna try modifying the build prop, but after reading the last few posts, I'm too scared to attempt it.

Frankly it seems like the potential negatives way outweigh the positives. The pain of having to reset my nook and go through the rooting and OTA process all over again doesn't seem worth the potential reward of being able to play modern combat 3, etc.

But I am following this topic with great interest. Even if I'm too chicken to try it- it's awesome that people are blazing these kind of trails.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
hm.. try clearing market data, and reboot your nook

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

honestly it's not as scary as it sounds, trust me i had to go through boot loops because of this once. you are right about the negatives outweighing the positives in some ways, but i think its worth it.

so i guess you didn't modify your build.prop at all whatsoever? i would say that you should at least modify it so your NT is a bit more faster. The spoofing Nexus S thing is kind of a secondary.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Actually I didn't know that I could modify the build prop to make the nook faster. That increases my incentive to modify, actually.

Is it really significantly faster? Right now it seems pretty zippy, but I'm wondering what it would be like if it was even faster...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
well i'm not really too sure since i am using snowball-mod so its basically is stripped of most bloatware, but when i was using indirect's root before, i modded my build.prop to be like the one found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390093

and it did seem like it was quite a bit faster. I would recommend going for it. Do the one found at the link above, and if it all works, proceed with the Nexus S spoof if you wish.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Wow, this seems WAY over my head, frankly.

I'm curious to try it but this looks like exactly the sort of thing that I would mess up.

So many ways to get it wrong and only one way to get it right, etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
really? the build.prop is already modified for you in that link above. all you need is a file browser like root explorer.

transfer the given build.prop from the link onto your sd card. go to root explorer or another file browser and transfer the one your sd card to the system folder overwriting the current one. you can make a backup if you want to by renaming the one that is already in the system folder to something like build.bak

set the permissions accordingly and reboot. seems simple enough, but yea one little mistake and its over unfortunately... your decision!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Actually, shinnaskua, quick question:

I found the info for editing the build prop on that page you linked to, but it also contained info for something called "Enable init.d?"

What does that do exactly? Any idea? I read the description a bunch of times and still can't figure out what it does.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
yea the description isn't really simple. i've asked the person who posted that thread and they said something along the lines of being able to boot into a different kernel or something by using a modified init.d

i suppose the init.d has nothing to do with the performance of a device, but rather the boot process of a device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Okay I think I may try and edit the build prop. I was looking at the instructions for Enable init.d and thinking they were for the build prop edit, which is why I thought they were over my head. Build.prop edit however looks fairly doable, even for someone like me.

Question though (yet another one): I can't seem to find an actual link to the build prop file on that page. I've scanned it over and over but can't find it. Am I missing something, or is it actually located on another page somewhere?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
i believe its at the bottom of the first post in that thread as an attachment or something.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Heh yes. It's right there, plain as day.

I can't believe I missed that.

Anyhow I think I'm gonna give this a shot tonight.

If I go real slow and work very carefully, I may just be able to pull it off.

Thanks for the input, it's much appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
yea sure no problem

**hope the mods don't think this post is a waste**
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sungod88:
modern combat

Has anyone been able to get modern combat 3 working on the nook tablet?

It should work if you edit your build.prop file per my thread. I got past the compatibility screen, but couldn't install the extra data due to not having enough free space on my memory card. If Asphalt 6 works, it should too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sungod88:
On the nook how do I get to the app settings I dont have like normal setting its still the b&n Screen
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
sideload the tgps installer found in the root threads in the dev section, that will give you access to the app settings.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fr3dw0rth:
Just wanted to let you all know that Gameloft games have gone on sale for $0.99
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Yep.

Best looking and playing game I've seen yet on the NT. Of course it's also a 750MB data download. For .99 it's a steal.

_______________

One thing I noticed when editing my build.prop- if you're using an alternative keyboard make sure it isn't futzing with you with auto-correct or auto-punctuation. For example, Swiftkey Tablet X kept inserting a space after points- it always thinks a period is the end of a sentence. I had to switch to the stock keyboard to properly edit my build.prop file directly on the NT.

Otherwise, use a desktop PC and full text editor.

Double, tripple check everything before you commit to the changes and restart to avoid boot loops- every character including spaces matters.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] camapghe:
You guys rock. But I wanna check if the pirate version 1.01 - offline moded is also works? Or I need to buy directly from Gameloft?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sungod88:
Thanks I found how to from the honeycomb launcher. Modern combat 3 plays great I love you it. Now just gotta get unblock me working lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] codygs83:
I also have modern combat 3 running great thanks to the droid 3 build.prop mod.

Also have Dead Space and Shadow Gun running and look awesome. I just can't seem to get Asphalt 6 working! I've tried a couple versions including the paid version for .99 and it won't load past the intro screen. Any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
I got MC3 running with the Nexus build.prop, but for some reason, Dead Space is still just that---dead space! Would REALLY like to get that one working :(

Haven't tried Asphhalt 6 yet (haven't really tried hehe) but I probably will this evening if I get a chance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] codygs83:
I used market militia's dead space 1.1.35 from their site and it works like a charm with the droid 3 build prop. I tried Asphalt 6 that I purchased from my bionic and no dice. I'm just don't want to have to buy it again just for the nook. I may try the nexus build prop and see what happens.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sungod88:
So this build prop method...can we get it trick methods that need HC? I want sketchbook pro.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
i installed asphalt 6 no problem, the only big problem was downloading the sd data, which took like 4 tries lol... kept on timing out, using the nexus s spoof
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] codygs83:
Haha when I post from my nook it says droid3! Just noticed that.

Anywho FINALLY got asphalt running! I think maybe my data was bad. Like u said it took several tries from the slow ass server to finally complete and i think that along with trying like 3 versions of the apk was giving me problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
I had no problem what-so-ever with Dead Space. It shows up on the Market, and downloaded with no trouble at all. (Ditto with Asphalt 6 a long time ago).

I'm thinking some people experiencing problems are either using the wrong pirated .apk (in which case, just buy the damn game! :P ) or if legit maybe need to try the data download several times until it works. I had to re-download MW3 three times the other day before it finally worked.

The NT is turning out to be one hell of an awesome gaming platform. I have at least 12 GB of games on this one already!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I finally edited my build.prop and now the nook thinks it'd a Droid3. Several more games show up in the market, yet there are still some noticeable absences. No 9MM, no Nova 2, etc. And apks for those games that are um, borrowed, off the internet, tell me that my device is unsupported. So my question is- how would a nook tablet owner go about actually getting access to the rest of the (supposedly) excellent games floating around out there? The ones we can get now are great, but I'd like to expand my horizons and try the others one I've been hearing about for so long. Is this possible somehow? Spoofing a different phone build, something along those lines? If not I'm happy with what I have access to now, but still I wonder about the stuff I'm missing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
I've been unable to get 9mm to work so don't feel too bad
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
The only way we have to do that now is to spoof devices. I'm not sure about the difference, but try Nexus S spoof and see if you see more or less.

I do see Nova 2 HD in my market for my NT, but no 9mm. I see 27 Gameloft games using Nexus S spoof.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
Well not sure if you are willing to go this route but market militia recently posted a package thread and one of those packages is a gameloft package which basically has a ton of gameloft game sfor many different platforms of phones. I found that installing galaxy tab versions of apks worked fine for the most part. So you might want to check there...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Actually I didn't know about that. Thanks for the heads up, ShinnAsuka.

Though I'm not sure how to implement these downloads. I'm used to apk files, which these are not.

Do I just place the data on my SD card or something? Kinda new at this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
My grandsons got me hooked on that Zoombie game. I can't quit playing it LOL
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Which?!?!?!?!?!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
i just downloaded the apks from the market militia forum thread and uploaded them to dropbox and downloaded and installed through dropbox app, most of them worked without any problems. its free to register too...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Well I'm stumped, because I've tried a bunch of the apks from a bunch of the games in that marketmilitia gameloft thread and almost none of them work.

Many just crash right after installation and the ones that down actually download the game content, run in tiny phone form, with the buttons mismapped so you have to tap the button like an inch above where it appears on the screen, etc.

Was I wrong in thinking that "HD" meant that a game would run full screen on a tablet? I just assumed that's what it meant, but some of these files are labeled HD and still running phone size. And that app that's supposed to make smaller stuff bigger (can't remember the name of it) doesn't seem to fix it. Could it be that some of these games just haven't been released for tablets yet, and that's why they're not running correctly? Maybe there just are no tablet version apks of these games out there?

Or something like that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
i take it you did install the versions for the galaxy tab? for each game there is a .docx file that lists what each version of the game supports which platform.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] talmadgemonroe:
O&C

k, I've changed build prop to nexus s and droid 3,(after i edit, save and reboot, it goes back to the original build) tried downloading the apk and moving it and nothing will work. Must play Order and Chaos. Any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Quick question, what are you using to edit the build.prop?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
I had the same problem. I eventually had to just buy O&C from Market (after spoofing Nexus S)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] talmadgemonroe:
Text Editor from Root Browser.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

I'm perfectly OK with buying it, but as the post said I cant spoof, therefore I cant buy from market.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Have you tried Root Explorer? Made sure your system folder was R/W? I know it goes without saying, but you SHOULD be able to permanently change the build.prop
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Hmm, have you tried moving the file, editing it and then over-writing the one in /system/ ?

Just make sure you do a backup first.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] talmadgemonroe:
Yes, I was 777, thats OK right? Or do I need to be only R/W?

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Ill try that now. Is there a more simple way to spoof other than manually editing?

copied build.prop. moved it to sd and edited, gave it r/w, copied and replaced the original in system. Exited everything and went back to make sure changes were saved, they were. Rebooted. Checked build again, good. Went to market and it still says device not compatible.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
The permissions are wr-r-r or owner: read/write, Other two read.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] talmadgemonroe:
k. now at r/w

r

r

reboot.....

no dice. Looks like I'm gonna have to get the hammer back out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
That's just bloody weird.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] talmadgemonroe:
so after failing to download from market, which i would feel better about, I tried to re-install an apk that I moved to system/app which wouldn't work before. Then I lightly tapped with hammer 4x on the front, 1x on the back, and once more on the front. as of now I seem to actually be playing O&C. Thanks all for your help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Are you frigging kidding me? What does your build.prop currently say?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] talmadgemonroe:
ro.product.model=Nexus S

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys

I think it was your post #125 which helped. I had previously got the apk installed but when it started running it (Gameloft) would tell me that device wasnt compatible. I just tried it again after re-spoofing and market not working. So I guess Gameloft thinks i am using Nexus S. So it worked, just not how I thought it would.

Best Android mmorpg, btw.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Haha, nice I'll give it a shot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fatos:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] codygs83:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mac4rfree:
Can you tell me what are the lines you have changed and post it here...

Cheers!!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] billfold:
Since we have the build.prop mod, is Dead Space working?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] codygs83:
I changed the only 3 for the nexus in the thread to modify build prop. First I changed it to the droid3 and went back and only changed the lines for the nexus build prop.

And I had dead space working since day 1 without modifying anything. I snatched up the apk from the market militia page.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xecuter:
Finally got 9mm HD working on the nook tab. Looks awesome.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Can I ask which build prop you're using, or which version of the 9MM you installed? For which device, etc?

Because 9MM doesn't show up in the app store for me and none of the APKs I've tried to install have worked.

If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Hey Jimmy, I am using nexus s build.prop and it shows

If this post helped click the thanks button!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Excellent, thank you. I think I'm using the droid build.prob and sadly 9mm isn't in the app store for me. Ah well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Greatness83:
if you dont mind me asking what is a build.prob? also will that help me get some of my games back that i have on my EVO so I can use on my NT?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Build.prop is basically what type of phone you have. It tells the android market what sort of device you have, so it can display the apps that run on your phone.

But the build.prop can be modified, to make the android market think you're running a different phone. That way you can purchase apps that aren't available to your real device. Which for the nook- is quite a few.

See this thread for more info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398310

Bit of a learning curve, but worth it in the end I think. Some of these games play just fine on the Nook. Why they're not natively available for the device is anyone's guess.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Does anyone know where i can get the dead space apk like the guys from page 2?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
I tried market militia but they have links to filesonic which is basically nerfed into stupidness now that theres no sharing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tselling:
For gameloft and some other games try modifiying the build.prop with the following changes.... I think I see and can install most all of them. Filesystem must be R/W and remember to reboot and clear data for Market when done.

Use 1.1 kernel. v2 is labeled as testing release and it hasn't got any important improvements, so yeah.. I would go for v1.1 ;)

First of all, I would like to congrats you that you have successfully installed the best kernel in the world - franco.Kernel v2 :)

then, let me tell you: the battery consumption is NOT because of the kernel.

according to your findings, you said alarm manager is activating the partial wakelock.

confirm the wakelock is occupying that 8 hours of awake

if not, see if there is another wakelock

do not uninstall alarm apps, they are

NOT

THE ONLY apps that activates alarm manager!

according to the xda wiki, it says...

get it? ;) i use my phone that way, try exiting apps with the back button after a reboot, and try one more night! good luck :D
